Keeping Your Elevator Running Safely Since 1985

1
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance keeps your elevator running safely and efficiently. It typically involves cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting the mechanical components of your system to keep everything operating the way it should. Staying on top of maintenance also helps catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
How often should maintenance occur?
You would need routine maintenance if your elevator is currently in service and being used regularly, if it has been a while since your last service visit, or if you want to stay ahead of any potential issues before they become bigger problems.
How often maintenance is needed depends on the age of your equipment, how frequently it is used, and any local code requirements. Lardner Elevator will work with you to figure out the right schedule for your specific situation.

REPAIRS
Even a well maintained elevator will need repairs from time to time. Repairs can range from minor adjustments to larger mechanical fixes, and everything in between. Some of the most common issues involve door equipment, since doors open and close more than any other component.
How often do repairs occur?
You would need a repair if your elevator is making unusual sounds, experiencing delays, not leveling properly, or has stopped working altogether. No issue is too big or too small for our team to handle.
When something goes wrong, it usually needs attention right away. Lardner Elevator has a 24 hour service crew available to respond when you need us most.

TESTING
Elevators are required by code to undergo regular safety testing to confirm they are operating correctly and meeting all current requirements. This includes CAT 1, CAT 3, and CAT 5 tests, each of which evaluates different aspects of your elevator's safety systems.
How often does code testing occur?
You would need testing if your elevator is due for its required inspection, if you have recently had major repairs done, or if you are unsure whether your system is currently up to code.
Testing intervals are determined by local code requirements and the type of test being performed. Lardner Elevator will make sure your elevator is tested on schedule and fully compliant.
